Those who can hit the correct date will get a year's subscription free, as has been the custom for many years. Thére are ten days left before the closing date, April 12, but nothing can be gained by de- fay, A guess now is just as good as one on. the llth. We have proved that more than once, by the fact that as often as not, the early guessers are as nearly right as the late ones. Anyway, the rules are simple, the cost is only a postage stamp at the most, and there has never been any trouble about the payment of the prizes. All the particulars of the contest are repeated below, in case you missed your last week's paper. Here are the rules: All guesses must be sent or brought to this office not later than April 12th, except in case of those living ata distance, when a postmark witha date not later than that mention- ed will be taken as proof that the guess was made within the time All guesses must be written on a coupon clipped from The Hail- eyburian, one of which is printed below. i Each member of a family is en- titled to one guess, but only one subscription will be given to any one household. Only one person is debarred from the contest, Mr. Wm. Bul- ger, who for the past few years has been the judge and has an- nounced the date of the lake be- ing clear. All-contestants must accept his judgment and no ap- peals or protests will be consid- ered. The date, April 12th, which has been set for the closing of the contest has been chosen as that is. the earliest date on record for That nearly approached. A glance at the table of dates printed below will show the var- iations that have occurred in the time of the lake opening. There are no definite indications that the present year will be much earlier than the average, al though the winter has been ex- ceptionally mild. The ice is just about as thick as usual and the snow is going gradually. Anyway all are entitled to make a guess and each one who strikes the cor- rect date will get a free subscrip- tion.

No? You don't see anything extraordinary about that? No? But as a boy, you've never seen the flowers along an Ontario road- side, or chased a chipmunk up and down a snake rail fence, or puddled in the muddy swimmin' pool under the two big elms at the bend of the ereek back of Chuck Patterson's pasture, or heard the whistle of the groundhog in the stone pile "4 behind Lane's hog house. ea Anyway, brownfaced, barefoot- _ ed Compensashun is a member of parliament now. "Compensashun ?" Oh, yes, I neglected to say that this was the name he went by 'way back in those good old days. That's the way Billy Lane spelled it, too. Compensashun went straight home from school to teil his mother that old Beecher, the school teacher, had promoted him to the third book. Beecher--not his real name, of course, but you'll understand that--used to point out certain words in the old third reader and our task was to learn their meanings. Compensashun, on one occasion, climbed the slippery elm pole at the back of the school yard and balanced himself on the top. "Come on down, Compensashun," says Billy Lane, "an' let me up." "What do you mean, Compensashun?" says Rusty Manners. "Ain't he balancing his self?" says Billy, "an' didn't Beecher say that was the meanin' 0' compensashun?" Compensashun is typical. Certainly he has experienced some hard Imocks since then or he wouldn't be where he is. He doesn't enjoy that. mame any more either. He has learned, however, that there is more 4. truth than fiction in the known avhorism, "Nuthin' fer nuthin' an? mighty little fer a dollar." Nothing is actually free. Sorrow is the price to be paid for joy, labour for success, study and application for efficiency, the inconvenience and expense of getting acquainted and of learning to understand for peace, harmony and good will. Nothing is free and it applies to nations as well as to individuals. The World's Grain Exhibition and Conference to be held at Regina in 1932 is a national undertaking. It merits from all Canadians their labour, their study, and their effort to become acquainted with and to understand the people of other lands, their methods, their successes and their failures. The results in the joy of accomplishment, in the success of national business, in the increased efficiency of agriculture, in the pro- rotion of peace and good will among the world's people, will be compen- aan in exact proportion to the Canadian investment of these things T Perhaps it was this truth that prompted Fox Film Corporation to sponsor a movietone produc- tion of that world renowned TO- mantic classic, "East Lynne' which plays the Classic Theatre, Monday arid Tuesday, April 6-7, with a Special Matinee on Easter Monday at 2.30 p.m. Dangerous days of old Calif- ornia gives the star in 'The Lash' |great latitude.
